Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt uses Cargill's proprietary Alberger process to create light, flaky crystals that dissolve faster and adhere better than standard salt — the #1 professional kitchen choice and a growing food manufacturing ingredient.
Overview
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt is produced through the same Alberger open-pan evaporation process as Cargill's industrial Alberger flake salts, but finished and packaged for foodservice and retail. The hollow-pyramid crystal shape means chefs and food manufacturers can pinch, season, and measure more consistently — the salt dissolves faster and distributes more evenly than granulated or competitor kosher salts. The 100% additive-free formulation (no flow agents or anti-caking agents) is valued by professional and home chefs. The Fine Kosher Baking Salt variant (launched 2023) features finer-cut crystals for faster dissolution in batters and doughs.
